Elsewhere, I outlined a four-step process that I used to classify 25 epistemic cultures that use testosterone in their research. In this post, I summarize the bibliometric results for the research domain that focuses on trans-related health issues. Note that this domain is by far the smallest Tsearch domain, indicating that there is a relative dearth of research currently being conducted on how testosterone affects the health of trans people.
Below, I provide the code and descriptive results for:
First, we load the bibliometrix package, our data, and create a dataframe for this domain.
library(bibliometrix)
setwd("C:/Users/soren/Google Drive/Biomedical MultipliciTs/1. Evidence Infrastructure/4. Domain Analysis")
transhealth <- readLines('transhealth_464.txt')
transhealth <- isi2df(transhealth)
# (I've hidden the extraction process to make this document a bit more presentable.)Next, we extract and summarize the data…
transhealth_bib <- biblioAnalysis(transhealth, sep = ";")
transhealth_stats <- summary(object = transhealth_bib, k = 25, pause = FALSE)##
